Time adminsion to OR was 6,45 hours respectively 8,12 hours. The mean operation time was 56,45 min for Group I and 74,5 min for Group II. In both Groups cystectomies and salpingectomies were performed and 2 patients with ectopic pregnancies needed blood transfusion in both Groups. There was no conversions, morbidity or mortality and median hospital stay was 4,74 days respectively 6,2 days.

Conclusions: Young female with right lower abdominal pain of gynecological origin presented as an acute abdomen addressed not allways to a gynecologist and that is why also general surgeons face this type of pathology.
